  The Paradigmatic City: Origins, Avatars, Frontiers

  Ao longo da história da civilização, as cidades oferecem-nos paradigmas. Elas personificam formas ideais de vida social; surgem como capitais de impérios, mas também como centros de uma identidade nacional, cultural e religiosa; são focos de desenvolvimento económico e político. Todas estas formas se revestem de particular interesse para este congresso. Muitas cidades podem ser consideradas paradigmáticas: Atenas ou Roma, na Antiguidade Clássica; Veneza e Florença, como reflexo das dinâmicas transformações do Renascimento; Londres, Paris e Berlim, como capitais da Modernidade; Nova Iorque, Rio de Janeiro, Tóquio ou Xangai, como epítomes das novas metrópoles em franco crescimento.

  Persistent Spaces

  Politics, aesthetics and topography in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century city

  This two-day conference brings together young researchers to explore the city and its ideologies from a fully interdisciplinary perspective. Persistent Spaces combines approaches from various fields in order to create a dialogue between disciplines and methodologies. This conference also seeks to establish a dialogue between the 18^th and the 19^th centuries, in turns highlighting the individual specificities of these two periods, and accounting for the echoes, continuities and breaks between them.

  Persistent Spaces: politics, aesthetics and topography in the XVIIIth and XIXth-century City

  Our two-day postgraduate conference will explore the evolving configurations of the urban space from the Enlightenment to the late 19th-century. We will consider the accumulating and interpenetrating layers that make up the 18th- and 19th-century city. London and Paris will be our main focus, but this palimpsestic model may be extended elsewhere, and we will welcome abstracts centring on other cities. Interdisciplinarity will be key to our conference. We hope to attract researchers from various fields, including literature and the arts, sociology, philosophy, law, science and engineering, etc. Through this ‘decompartmentalized’ approach, we will attempt to shed light on the myriad facets of the 18th- and 19th-century city.

  Déviance(s)

  E.A. CLIMAS (Université Michel de Montaigne-Bordeaux 3)

  Si la déviance est un comportement qui échappe aux règles admises par la société, pour parler de déviance, il faut que soient réunis trois éléments : existence d'une norme, transgression de cette norme et stigmatisation de cette transgression (« The deviant is one to whom that label has successfully been applied », Becker). L'origine de la déviance n'est donc pas à chercher dans la nature profonde de l’individu, mais bien plutôt dans son « rôle social », lequel détermine son identité (Mead, Berger). La déviance s’inscrit dans une dialectique dont le pôle opposé est forcément la norme qu’elle enfreint. Partant le déviant est celui qui, par consensus communautaire, est affublé d’une étiquette (« labeling theory » ou « théorie interactionniste de la déviance »), véritable « stigmate social » (Goffman).
